It is NOT the tradition to burn the goat. It is just tradition to have the large goat in said swedish town. I dont really have a problem and cant really understand why you guys are fixated on wanting to get rid of it. Perhaps you could use your efforts to burn something that is really mpore of an eyesore.

But instead order a hose on eBay then locate the nearest fire hydrant and wash the straw away. What could the fire department do to fight back? What good would fire retardant do then?

Put a well oiled/gas-soaked pile of wood on a trailer, drive under the goat, detach the trailer, and drive off after igniting it. The off-gassing fire retardants shouldn't affect the fire below, and the flames could smolder the goat until it finally ignites. Of course, a few bottles of accelerant tossed inside the goat wouldn't hurt. The way I see it, a good flame under the goat should do it.

The pathetic .21% O2 in the air would quickly be exhausted unless there was a way for the fire to draw fresh air into the festive goat. Most fire-proofers produce inert gas when burned, thus smothering the fire. I like the idea of lighting it up from the inside, but I still feel we need to find a way of getting the F02 inside or around the goat above .21% True, but I still feel there would be an oxygen problem even if the goat was ignited from within.

Fireworks might help with that, but you'll really need a sticky flammable substance to get this thing going...
